sheep scoring thoughts

Here is a thought

5 or 10 bonus pts for getting the most popular answer

example: Name a condiment
12 people say ketchup
10 say mustard
7 say mayo

the people who said ketchup should get 22 pts instead of 12 .. otherwise the 2 pt difference between ketchup and mustard seems to trivial

thoughts?

I think it's worth trying. Jared is using that for the pog championship isn't he?

Remember when it was only points for the #1 answer? I kinda liked that.

This is a great compromise imo.

5 is fair IMO.

Number of players divided by 3 is fair IMO

Define fair, otherwise:
No bonus points is fair :P

I almost posted a new "sheep scoring thoughts" but it makes more sense to reuse this one.... had an idea I'm thinking of trying next time I host a sheep:

What about making every question equally important, rather than letting the nearly-unanimous ones completely kill the chances of the few people who miss them?

In particular, I propose giving each person a score of (#people giving your answer)/(#people giving most popular answer). Good or bad idea?

I've thought this too. The ones that are unanimous shouldn't be worth as much, because they're too easy.

I've also though about just having 10 pts for 1st, 5 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd. Something like that. I really dislike how we currently do sheep
